I’ve just finished replacing tie bar assembly to 9.9 kicker ( cable seized and bent actuator rod). I’ve bled the hydraulics using Seastar instructions. There is still some ’play’ in the steering at helm.
Question: how much play is normal?
 
Hello,

A little play is normal. If your hand is on top of the wheel, you should have a slight turn before turning the motor.

Thanks.Understood.
I estimate the play to be about roughly 1.5 inches.
Would you call this slight or is this excessive?

1.5" play is fine. That is normal.
